Mission

The American Board of Craniofacial Pain (ABCP) will assist the public by certifying that individuals who have the designation of "Diplomate of the American Board of Craniofacial Pain" have passed a certifying examination and are subject to periodic recertification.

The ABCP Board of Directors is solely responsible for the composition of this written examination and has determined the percentage of questions on each topic based on the results of a national practice survey. In addition, all scoring of written tests is performed without consideration of the candidate's identity and all decisions are based on objective criteria, which is applied universally to all candidates.

*Note: In order to be eligible to sit for the written examination, dentists must satisfy all application requirements and/or correct deficiencies prior to the application deadline. Sorry; late or incomplete applications cannot be accepted.
